Marriage counseling that Heals in Anaheim Hills, CA. Restore Your Relationship.

Marriage counseling is one of the most challenging and yet most rewarding work a counselor can do. I work largely from a Christian based Gottman approach that quickly assesses the unique problems within the relationship ensuring we work on what needs repair.

Rooted in attachment, neurobiology, and client-centered work, I use experiential methods to help those who feel disconnected from others and themselves find the link playfully back to being in relationship. I specialize in grief, trauma, LGBT folks, and creatives.

My passion is to help people reach their highest potential. To focus on strengths. I have been a therapist for over 22 years. I work on the faulty beliefs and messages one gives themselves that holds them hostage to their anxiety, depression and poor relationships.

Families, couples, adoptions/adoption issues. Dr. DeFraine helps parents parent, whether or not they remain a couple. She specializes in helping parents undergoing divorces reach custody agreements quickly and responsibly, with minimal court involvement.
